Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position Sensor
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located within the distributor. It's operation is very similar to the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor however it
will provide one pulse per camshaft revolution (1x signal). This signal will not affect the driveability of the vehicle. The VCM utilizes this signal in
conjunction with the crankshaft position to determine which cylinder(s) are misfiring.
